Best Answer

The containment policy was that the US would fight against any attempt by existing communist countries to take over other countries and add them to the Soviet bloc. This was the reason for the Korean War (in which the North Korean effort to take over South Korea was successfully prevented) and the Vietnam War (in which the North Vietnamese effort to take over South Vietnam succeeded despite US efforts at containment).
